DBverplichtingen

DBverplichtingen, often written with a hyphen as DB-verplichtingen, is a term used in IT and data management to describe the obligations that apply to managing and operating a database system (DB). The concept encompasses legal, contractual, and organizational requirements intended to protect data, ensure availability and integrity, and promote operational reliability.

Key areas include data protection and privacy (such as the GDPR/AVG), security (access control, encryption, vulnerability management, logging and monitoring), data quality and integrity, data retention and deletion, and backup and disaster recovery planning (disaster recovery and business continuity).

DB-verplichtingen also cover governance and accountability: established policies, procedures, and standards; role distribution among database administrators, information security professionals, and, where applicable, the data protection officer; and periodic risk and compliance audits.

Implementation requires a risk-based approach: inventory of databases and data, classification of information, technical and organizational controls, change management, incident response, and audit trails for traceability. Challenges include the complexity of modern environments, evolving regulations, and cross-border data transfers.

Relations to other concepts include data governance, privacy law, and IT security management.
